First of all, I apologise if this question offends anyone. I'm not a doll collector or anything like that, just occasionally like to buy dolls for my daughter. She already has Barbies, and some of my old My Scene and Bratz dolls, which have typical doll bodies.

LOL isn't very popular in my country so I'm only able to survey them online, and idk anyone irl that has bought them for their kids.

I'm just wondering if I were to eventually get one for my kid, would the torso area be the same or different than the dolls she's used to. If you catch my drift.

She currently already has 3 of the swappable heads ("LOL Tweens Surprise Swap Styling Heads" is what's written on their boxes). I bought them for her cos she likes to experiment with hairstyles. So honestly now I'm trying to source the bodies that go with these heads, and am also wondering if they have typical doll bodies like Barbies etc.

Also, these heads have holes on their earlobes so I'm wondering if the earrings are sold separately, like Barbie Fashion Packs. Could anyone be so kind as to point me towards the right direction, please?

My kids picked up inline skating/ rollerblading this year and they're fairly decent by now, meaning they're not tripping or falling down every 5 seconds. They know how to brake, avoid obstacles ahead and all that. They can skate backwards too, but are currently working on perfecting it.

Recently, I've seen a lot of postings from people that frequent skateparks being upset with people who take their children (especially those who are just only learning how to skate) to those places. There are even a number of them that claim rollerblading shouldn't be done at skateparks cos "skate parks" are only for skate boards, to which I....... yeah, could someone shed some light on this please?

I started bringing my kids to skateparks cos other public parks, like Taman Botani Perdana and all that have signs saying wheeled activities are banned from the area. Out of respect for joggers' safety, perhaps. Fair point, I guess. But now you're telling me they can't even (roller) skate at actual skateparks too? Hmm.

Personally, if and when I take mine to the skatepark in Putrajaya, they're only using the foyer area to skate in a circuit. Just long laps up and down that area. Why? Cos the area in the middle, with the railings, ramps and all that are crowded with more experienced skaters practicing their skills. Mostly skateboarders, too. Same goes for the one at One Utama, and oftentimes there are more kidults than kids. AFAIK the space is open to people of all ages. I get that the area might be risky for inexperienced skaters but where else can one start to learn and practice such tricks if not at an actual skatepark?

It's not like my kids are eager to learn to skate down a railing or whatever, so that's largely why we avoid that area. Honestly, I've no gripe with people who express genuine concern over a kid's safety and question the risk parents agree to when allowing their kids to participate in an "extreme sport". They're all valid points but if kids aren't allowed to pick up a physically challenging hobby then there'd practically be zero child athletes in the X Games.

Please leave suggestions on non-hostile, open and public places where kids are welcomed to practice and casually skate, I'd love to check them out and stay out of the skatepark elitists' hair.
